# Mail-Enabled Objects

A mail-enabled object has an e-mail address associated with it but no Exchange mailbox, and thus it can receive e-mail from Exchange users, but would have to connect to a third-party application to send e-mail, for example, Hotmail. You can use the Windows 2000 Server Active Directory Users and Computers to enable a user, group, or contact's e-mail capabilities.
